PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions

Description


       This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring. The arguments are:

         subject       Subject that has been successfully matched
         ovector       Offset vector that pcre[16|32]_exec() used
         stringcount   Value returned by pcre[16|32]_exec()stringnumber  Number of the required substring
         stringptr     Where to put the string pointer

       The  memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling pcre[16|32]_malloc(). The convenience
       function pcre[16|32]_free_substring() can be used to free it when it is no longer needed.  The  yield  of
       the  function  is  the  length  of  the  substring, PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be
       obtained, or PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string number is invalid.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the pcreapi page and a description of the POSIX
       API in the pcreposix page.
